The Ethernet cable is essential for long-distance communication to the infrared camera. It optionally supports Power over Ethernet with an electronics box, which offers simultaneous data and power transmission for Xi series cameras. Ethernet supports high-speed communication and reliable power delivery, reducing the need for separate cables. The cable is only compatible with Xi infrared cameras that support Ethernet. An Ethernet connection with an Xi infrared camera can bridge up to 20m. Special high-temperature versions up to 250 °C are available. Using Ethernet provides robust and reliable data transmission, ensuring stable connectivity in industrial environments. Its high-speed capabilities support efficient data transfer, which is critical for real-time monitoring and control applications. Ethernet’s scalability and widespread compatibility also make it ideal for integrating various devices and expanding network infrastructure easily.

Thermography software optris PIX Connect is included and license-free.All infrared cameras are delivered with the thermography software optris PIX Connect, developed specifically for the extensive documentation and analysis of thermal images. The Windows-based PIX Connect software enables users to tailor the infrared cameras to meet specific requirements. It analyses live and recorded temperature data and triggers alarm signals for process integration.The key to leveraging the Optris infrared camera is a correct configuration. This includes detailed device-specific configurations such as frame rate, measurement range adjustments, external communication settings, and USB/Ethernet configurations. Moreover, PIX Connect facilitates firmware updates and the download of configuration files over the Internet.
Optris offers several different SDKs for our Xi and PI thermal imaging cameras. Depending on the operating platform, the infrared camera, the coding language, and the hardware platform, different software interfaces can be utilized:
The Optris IRmobile allows users to set up and commission an Optris infrared pyrometer or infrared camera with an Android smartphone or tablet. This tool becomes handy for commissioning and aligning the infrared camera‘s field of view or adjusting the configuration. The app analyzes the connected infrared camera‘s live infrared image stream with auto hot and cold spot detection. For pyrometers, a temperature-time diagram or the video signal is displayed. This app works on most Android devices running 5.0+ with a USB port supporting USB-OTG (On The Go).
